AMD64 Server Distribution

What AMD64 Linux distribution would you guys recommend for use on a high-traffic production server with AMD64/Opteron CPUs? I'm currently looking into Debian's AMD64 port for Sarge (I know, not released yet), Ubuntu, Red Hat Enterprise, and Fedora Core. Which one of these is the most stable/robust? I'd prefer to go with a Debian-based distribution (due to their package management system), but of course stability is more important than convenience.

Thanks.

Tough call really. What distrobution you go with depends on which one you are comfortable with. You did leave out the first two distros to have AMD64 support: Suse and Gentoo. I use Gentoo on all my servers (no amd64's) and love it. Suse, for me, doesn't cut it. I'm just not used to it. Its not bad. I just don't get it.
